PROGRAMS OFFERED AT THIS SCHOOL:

Latin Dance Performance Team

One of our other endeavors we have put together with schools is creating Latin Dance teams. Building off the same teachings as our regular afterschool programs, our teams emphasize teamwork, leadership, respect, creativity as well as promoting self-confidence with choreography and performances.Our goal is to promote these teams for local and national performances, as well as (in the future) competitions. Have your child be a part of one of the first ever Latin Dance Teams in Denver!

International Dance Adventures: Capoiera

Capoiera was created by slaves brought to Brazil to work on the sugar cane plantations. Disguising their martial art as a dance served as a way for them to train to escape from their captors and their oppression. Years later, the beautiful martial art/dance fusion has spread over the world as both a fun physical activity and, for many, a life style. Students will learn the fundamentals of Capoiera movement, music and history through segments of exercises, games, music, and crafts to, self-confidence, cultural awareness and a healthy lifestyle. Children will need to wear appropriate athletic attire, preferably white pants and a T-shirt. No shoes are required.
